Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yang Bai ran away and left the mess he had made to the defenders of Baishui Pass.
The situation is very critical. The trapped camp has completely occupied the city gate and is gradually advancing outward.
"Phew...the trouble is gone..."
The guard at Baishui Pass was not disheartened, but instead breathed a sigh of relief because of Yang Bai's escape.
There are 3,000 troops stationed at Baishui Pass, and they are all gathered in the city. If the armored soldiers trapped in the camp can break in, this will be an advantage for the defenders of Baishui Pass.
"Form up your formation! Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The guard general of Baishui Pass is named Gao Yan, and he is a descendant of the Gao family, a wealthy family in Guanghan County. The current governor of Guanghan County is Zhang Lu, which is the main reason why Gao Yan is afraid of Yang Bai.
However, it can be seen that Gao Yan's prestige in the army is quite high. The defenders who were originally demoralized gradually moved closer to Gao Yan, and the archers were also waiting for opportunities, ready to counterattack at any time.
Rumble...
At this time, the roar was getting closer and closer, and the soil under my feet was shaking visibly!
Gao Yan didn't know what the noise was, but he knew it would be difficult to deal with.
As all the soldiers guarding the gate retreated to Gao Yan's side, the trapped camp immediately poured into the city gate. They did not attack directly, but continued to gather on both sides.
"Form up and protect!"
Another order came, and the trapped camps on both sides instantly formed two square formations. Then all the shields were raised, forming two airtight shield walls again.
Gao Yan secretly screamed, the movement outside the gate attracted his attention, causing him to lose the best opportunity to attack!
Now, the trapped soldiers who were covered in iron armor were wrapped in wooden shields. No matter how many arrows were fired, it would be difficult to cause damage to them.
Gao Yan ordered the soldiers not to move rashly and to prepare for battle. Gao Yan was waiting, but he wanted to see what was playing tricks outside the customs!
All the soldiers at Baishui Pass held their breath nervously. The movement outside the pass was so great that even standing where they were, they felt trembling, as if the ground was shaking!
The air becomes solid due to tension, and timid people may even begin to have difficulty breathing!
If it weren't for the huge movement outside the pass, I would have thought that the entire Baishui Pass had fallen into silence!
Gao Yan stared in the direction of the city gate, the city gate hole in his eyes was empty, and Liu Zhang was nowhere to be found.
Small black dots gradually appeared in Gao Yan's eyes, followed by smoke and dust all over the sky.
Gao Yan's face was solemn, and his years of military training told him that these smoke and dust are definitely very dangerous!
Soon, the facts verified his suspicion, countless black armored cavalry had already reached the pass!
Cavalry! It’s actually a cavalry!
These cavalrymen held sabers and went straight into Baishui Pass without any hesitation!
Bang...
The sound of weapons falling sounded behind him, and Gao Yan turned around suddenly. He found that the soldiers' eyes were full of fear!
The defenders at Baishui Pass were all county soldiers. The Two Hundred Encirclement Camp had already defeated their morale, let alone the scene when they saw the armored cavalry!
Among the more than 2,000 defenders, except for the commander-in-chief Gao Yan, there was no one who was not afraid and trembling all over!
How can we fight this battle? The enemy's army has not yet been killed, and our own army has been shattered! According to this situation, when these cavalry are in front of us, they may not even be able to think of resistance!
Gao Yan lowered his head in despair and threw the weapon aside.
Give up! There is no need to resist. Instead of being killed by these cavalry, it is better to give up the resistance. At least you can save the lives of your soldiers.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
When the soldiers saw that General Gao Yan had thrown away his weapons, they had no idea of resistance. They threw their weapons aside and chose to be the enemy's lambs!
"General Wei, Gao Yan is willing to die, and please General Wei spare the lives of these soldiers!"
Gao Yan didn't know where Liu Zhang was, so he knelt down and shouted loudly.
Soon the cavalry rushed in crazily, but they did not directly wield their butcher knives to kill the surrendering soldiers. Instead, they separated in front of the defenders and surrounded these soldiers.
"Gaoyan?"
A majestic voice came from the front, and the cavalry automatically separated to both sides, making way for a road in the middle.
Liu Zhang rode forward slowly on his war horse, and the guards in the trapped camp were beside Liu Zhang at some point.
Gao Yan slowly straightened his body. He did not stand up and was still kneeling on the ground.
"Is this General Wei Liu Zhang in front of you?"
"Yes, it is this general."
Liu Zhang rode his horse directly in front of Gao Yan, with the camp guarding him, so there was no need to worry about his own safety.
Gao Yan's pupils shrank and he knocked his head to the ground again. The force was so great that he made a loud noise.
"Gao Yan knows that he has offended General Wei Huwei, so he is willing to die! Please also ask General Wei to let go of these brothers of mine. Gao Yan is grateful!"
Liu Zhang looked at Gao Yan who was kneeling at his feet, and there was no ferocious look in his eyes.
"You should get up first."
Gao Yan did not stand up, but still knelt in front of Liu Zhang.
"General Wei doesn't agree, Gao Yan would rather kneel down and die here!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Gao Yan would dare to threaten Liu Zhang with his life, and the soldiers trapped in the camp showed anger.
"Get up, I promise you."
Liu Zhang was not angry, and his expression and tone were relatively relaxed.
Gao Yan finally felt relieved, exhaled heavily, and then stood up slowly.
"You're using too much force..."
Liu Zhang looked at the blood on Gao Yan's face and felt a little moved in his heart. Gao Yan's forehead had been scratched by hitting the ground hard, and blood flowed down his face.
"It's okay! As long as General Wei can let these brothers go, Gao Yan is willing to bleed to death!"
What a strong man!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but admire in his heart that even if a person like Gao Yan didn't have any great talents, he would definitely be loved by the soldiers. There would be absolutely no problem guarding the checkpoints.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel grateful for Yang Bai's contribution! Without him, if he wanted to break the Baishui Pass head-on, he would probably have to wait for him to run out of food!
"General Gao, you don't have to be like this. In the past, everyone was their own master. I understand that you tried your best to stop me."
After hearing this, Gao Yan gradually showed a look of guilt on his face and lowered his head. He never expected that Liu Zhang understood justice so well!
Gao Yan was well aware of the relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Yan. At this time, Gao Yan even felt that it was right for Liu Zhang to succeed the position of Yizhou Mu!
"Thank you, General Wei, but Gao Yan still offended General Wei's power!"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head. He even felt that Gao Yan had some shadow of Gao Shun.
"General Gao, where are you from?"
"General Qi Wei, Gao Yan is from Guanghan County."
"The Gao family of Guanghan County?"
Liu Zhang suddenly thought of a person, a general who followed him in history.
